Daisy Campbell has grown up in the spotlight after joining Emmerdale at the age of just seven years old. The soap star has become a regular face on the show as Amelia Spencer, who has had bold storylines including a teenage pregnancy and the discovery of her true father.
Most recently it's thought that Daisy could be exiting the show as her character looks set to go on the run with Dan Spencer, and fans think the actress 'confirmed' her exit when she was seen jetting off on holiday to Croatia with her co-star Rosie Bentham.
The 20-year-old has shared snaps of their trip on Instagram and it's not the only glamorous holiday the star has been on, with her social media account full of pictures from trips to Ibiza, Dubai, and Paris.
She's been playing Amelia Spencer since she was 7Outside of Emmerdale, Daisy - who grew up in Leeds and attended the Scala School of Performing Arts as well as Rebel Acting School - is not the only one in her family with an interesting job. Her younger brother Finley once appeared in a Sainsbury's advert whilst her sister Rhona, is a national dance champion. She is thought to live at home with her family.
Daisy often shows off her lavish life to her 81,000 followers, sharing images of herself in stunning gowns at award shows, or heading out to party at the swanky Sketch in Mayfair or The Ivy Asia. She's also a big fan of Ocean Beach Club in San Antonio, Ibiza.

But while her friendships are on fire, she admits her love life can be a struggle. Dating can be tough, she says, as she's never sure if she's being approached because someone likes her, or because they recognise her from the show. She told The Sun: "I'm single. I do get a few boys chatting me up, I think everyone does when you're out with your friends. And it's a natural thing to worry that they're only coming up to you because you're on the TV. But I just want to concentrate on work at the minute, that's my main focus. I'm a bit of a workaholic."

She was just a young teenager at the time.
"Daisy is amazing. We had a chat with The Joseph Rowntree Foundation and met with parents and children in this situation," Liam explained during an interview with Christine Lampard on ITV's Lorraine at the time. "They might be 14 or 15 but they're like 30-year-old adults, they had to grow up so fast. Daisy has been amazing and lent truth to it."

She told The Sun: "It's so funny. When people see me on a night out, they're like, 'Where's your baby?' And when Amelia was pregnant in the show, I'd get people coming up saying, 'Oh so you're not pregnant in real life then?' Or they'd tell me I shouldn't be drinking in 'my condition.'"
The actress also opened up during the same interview about her childhood and getting into television, saying: "It's crazy when I look back. I'd always loved dancing since I was really little and my dance teacher told my mum that she should take me to drama school. A year later I got Emmerdale and I have been there ever since. Everyone was supportive and I surrounded myself with a really nice group of girls, who I’m still great friends with. I went to performing arts college after my GCSEs but quickly realised that all I wanted to do was work at Emmerdale full-time, so I decided to give it up. There's no better experience than working on the job so I decided to make it my priority — and I've not looked back."
